Hey guys or girls...

Im Ben im 16 and i have kinda gotten into the Honda scene you could say. In the beggining i actually did not like Hondas because of all the ricers with there stock engine with a body kit and a cheap *** cherry bomb anoying the **** out of me but then i saw a few people who actually made pretty amazing racing machines with there Hondas. I am intrested in getting to know and eventually buy maybe one of those cars. I only have 1k currently but i hope to get a job soon and start making enough to buy and support my car. I would like to know what you guys think about Hondas and how you can make a good build for cheap that you can have fun with and go snowboarding with. I have for the past few months done research on hondas and possibilities. Please tell me if this is an ok build and if i might be able to build it myself or maybe even one of you guys. BTW i live in Seattle.

Eg civic W/T B16 or B18
Low miles
Clean body
Good condition
This will give me a lot of possibilities later on right?
How much should this cost? I have seen similar builds for around 3-4K on craigslist.
Do you think this will be a good start and how much would insurance cost approximately?

Thank very much and please post suggestions. Maybe even post a place in Seattle where i could see how to build a car like this.

You must be one spoiled teenager.

I worked at Taco Bell forever and didn't get my first car until I was a senior in high school.

Just stay focused in school and try not to splurge ALL of your money on cars. In end, it's pointless and you'll regret not having a house by the age of 21.

BTW...Stay in school!

 

Believe me i am not spoiled at all... I just really want a car. I work for everything i get and i want to put my money into things that interest me.

 

i was the same when i started in the honda game. wanted to do alot but no money.
welcome to the site dude.
if you like hondas go for it.

 

Man check this out DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND DONT LET ANYBODY TELL YOU DIFERANT! If you want somethin bad enough you will find away!!! When i was 19 i owned PAYED FOR! A FC rx7 FD rx7 DA integra, it never ended now i build cars for a living doing what i like. Im not saying its easy but its not imposible if you think it is then you will never have ****! Also im not spoiled grew up broke as **** and just wanted more and wouldnt settle for less!! Work hard focus on school dont get caught up in the bullshit and have fun!

 

Welcome. haha and what he said. Dont spend too much money on honda's unless you really want to. Its fun... but a expensive hobby.

 

the only problem you gona come up with are people wanting to steal your car.
but thats part of the dirty honda game. just gotta be careful.
yea, it's expensive but oh well, go for it.

 

Believe me by the time i have anything worth stealing in my car ill put a bad *** viper system in the car...

 

Nice. Welcome to this website.

Be safe out there. A lot of crazy, shady people these days who are willing to do anything to take what is yours.

 

As it's already been said, build what you'd like. No matter what you choose to do, there's always going to be people that badmouth it.

Welcome, and enjoy.

 

Thank you everyone... Actually about 5 months ago i wanted a Mustang... XD
Anyway then i planned an EG civic with an H22 swap W/T intake and exhaust but then i decided that 5K was way more than i would ever have this year XD...

 

H22 is fun, but B series is easier to work with and parts are easier to come by.

 

alarms dont work for shi*t

 

Alarms are over rated get yourself a foot club and make a kill switch that only YOU no about. DONT TRUST ANYBODY!!!! Number 1 rule dont drive your car to the mall enless u want it stolen!!

 

Is there anything i can do to learn more about these car? Like maybe come and check some cars out at your meets or somethin?

 

meets are cool but interwebs is prolly your best bet. you dont really need to ask questions (like make new threads) but as much as i hate to say it.....search button.....lol welcome to the site man

 

Yeah i have been doing that for the past 3 months. :D
